Web­site broad­cast­ing Chi­nese courts goes live

A web­site spe­cial­iz­ing in broad­cast­ing tri­als of Chi­nese courts has gone pub­lic.

The web­site, ts.chi­na­court.org, is a key step that the Supreme Peo­ple’s Court took to build “in­tel­li­gent courts” across the coun­try, ac­cord­ing to a state­ment of the na­tion’s high­est jus­tice cham­ber.

So far, 520 courts in the coun­try have con­nected with the web­site and will broad­cast case hear­ings on the plat­form, it said.

Since July 1, all courts have been asked to dis­close case hear­ings on the in­ter­net, it said, adding that the top court had broad­casted 78 tri­als by the end of Au­gust.

On the web­site, peo­ple can eas­ily find live footage of case hear­ings they are in­ter­ested in and will be in­formed what tri­als are ready to open next. Mean­while, they are al­lowed to col­lect the video and leave mes­sages or share opin­ions be­low live shows, it added.
